ITS implemented new email filtering capabilities. The update changes how Office 365 handles spam, links, and attachments in your UConn email.
- Spam: Mail that is identified as spam will have a {SPAM?} tag in the subject line and will go into your Junk mail folder. It will remain there until you choose to delete it.
- Unsafe Mail: Mail marked as potentially malicious, such as phishing messages, will be quarantined and deleted after 30 days. You will receive a digest message from Office 365 that lists all quarantined messages from the past 24 hours and provides options for managing individual messages.
- Links: All URLs are rewritten through Outlook and will display a variation of “na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/...” If a link is safe, you will still go to the intended location. If a link is unsafe, you will see a warning message.
- Attachments: All attachments are scanned for malware, and access to attachments considered unsafe will be blocked.
